14. Boring
Too much going on
Better…..
Zoomed in
Ditch the extra “stuff”
That’s what I’m talking about…
Capture the DETAILS
Think….what makes your plant form unique and beautiful?

15. I can…
Use a tight composition to focus on the details of my pant form
Use organic lines
I can show movement through my use of line
I can use emphasis to draw people to the unique details within my plant form
I can use various watercolor techniques to capture values, details, etc.
I can use bright vibrant colors
